■ In writing to a DVD-R/-RW disc, some disc space is required for file
management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of the
disc.
■ Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it will be filled with
dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you
write only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the
dummy data.
■ DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000
without DVD-RAM Driver Software.
Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite data.
■ When multiple drives that can be written are connected, be careful not
to write to the wrong drive.
■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.
■ Before you enter standby/hibernation mode, be sure to finish DVD-
RAM writing. Writing is finished if you can eject DVD-RAM media.
■ Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing
software.
■ Do not run software such as a screen saver, which can put a heavy
load on the CPU.
■ Operate the computer in the full-power mode. Do not use power-
saving features.
■ Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish,
then disable virus detection programs including any software that
checks files automatically in the background.
■ Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance
HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and data
damage.
■ Write from the computer’s HDD to the CD/DVD. Do not try to write
from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network
device.
■ Writing with software other than Drag’n Drop CD+DVD is not
recommended.
When writing or rewriting
Please observe/consider the following when you write or rewrite to a CD-
R/-RW or DVD-R/-RW/-RAM disc.
■ Do not perform any of the following actions when writing or rewriting:
■ Operate the computer for any other function, including using a
mouse or AccuPoint II or closing/opening the LCD panel.
■ Start a communication application such as a modem.
■ Apply impact or vibration to the computer.
